[QUOTE="Atomic Jacket, post: 35088, member: 1008"] Defenses cannot sub out if the offense does not sub out. If the defense tries to sub out when the offense has not subbed out, all the offense has to do is snap the ball during that process and it becomes a penalty against the defense, offsides or too many men on the field. The exploitation factor comes in because the offense is taking advantage of the fact that the defense is locked into the game until the offense decides to sub out. The purpose is prevent their most fatigued player from being able to get a relief (which is dangerous) and to cause the defense to be too fatigued to be in proper position to defend the play. This is completely different from the 2-minute offense, in which the purpose is not to fatigue the defense, but to score before the clock runs out. I am in support of ingenuity, but not when it becomes a safety issue. The rule change allows ingenuity to be used in the uptempo offense. After all, most uptempo coaches admit they rarely get a play off in 10 seconds. But it also preserves safety by simply allowing the defense a guaranteed window to sub out. [/QUOTE]
